Services Sector Contribution to GDP in Turkey (1990-2022)

Turkey’s services sector gradually expanded from 48.1% in 1990 to 57.2% in 2009, driven by tourism, finance, and retail growth. The global economic crisis of 2008 saw a temporary rise, and subsequent years stabilized around 53-56% as Turkey pursued economic reforms and trade liberalization. Despite political and economic fluctuations, services showed resilience, peaking at 56.3% in 2019. By 2022, services’ share slightly declined to 51.7% amid pandemic recovery efforts. Turkey’s services sector remains pivotal, fueled by growth in retail, real estate, and emerging tech industries.
